The Kangaroo and the bicycle collide. The Cyclist falls down while the
'roo runs off. The cyclist is wearing a helmet while the 'roo is bare
headed.

If helmets actually provide protection why didn't the kangaroo fall
down like the cyclist?

Ah, I had forgotten that an individual not mounted on a bicycle has
no need of a safety helmet.

As we recently saw, it's not just a bicycle that triggers the need for
styrofoam. It's anything with pedals. Even a multi-hundred pound rail
car that's far more stable than a kitchen chair:

Or a low recumbent tricycle: http://www.terratrike.com/

I guess it must be the pedals that somehow impose tremendous risk of TBI.

Good Lord! I'll have to talk to someone at the hospital. They've got
people being wheeled around in chairs and other's being pushed around
on wheeled tables and not a safety helmet in sight.
